Another way to slow down this Anti-Christian activity would be to publicly identify those organizations and foundations, which provide funding. Records and reports of such financial activities must be made available to the public. Most foundations, organizations, unions and individuals, regardless of their political leanings, do not want their names linked to anything that could prove to be a public embarrassment.

Organizations such as the Horizons Fund of California, the Tides Foundation, the Gill Foundation of Colorado, the Arcus Foundation of Michigan and nationally known Ford and Rockefeller Foundations have all very quietly made generous contributions to the ACLU.

However, last year the American Civil Liberties Union was forced to reject $1.5 million from both the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations because it refused to ensure that "none of the money would go to underwriting terrorism or other unacceptable activities a threat to civil liberties."

The ACLU also had to withdraw from a major federal charity drive and give up an estimated $500,000, because it refused to agree to "not knowingly hire anyone on terrorism watch lists."

There are indications of a citizen backlash forming. We have an organization, which is the champion of everything repugnant, and we have a government fearful of litigation. The public does not like this and seems at a point where it wants to take action. Many think it is about time the American people started making some demands of their own...like forcing our government to take action in support of America instead of the ACLU!
